Tim Onion: Excuse me, untapped is a word but untap isn’t? How am I supposed to fix this problem I have here with all of this jarred potential I have lying around. Unjar isn’t a word either.

Untap is a word if you play Magic the Gathering.

Came here looking for this.

Not to mention a symbol, too--and not to go too deep, but further relevant to his past career looking into these things, the symbol's codeletter is, of course, Q. scryfall.com/card/eve/100...

it’s a whole phase of your turn ben

Seriously, what else could come before upkeep and draw?

You know what? Fuck you *untaps your potential*

I was a national merit scholar but I decided to untap that potential and flunk out of college

Untap is for sure a word if you play Magic: the Gathering

Oh, unbarkeep? What isn't on untap?

Coors.

One can be overwhelmed, underwhelmed, but can one ever just be whelmed?

Once dat ass is tapped, you can't untap it.

everything is a word if you believe in it hard enough

You can't untap that

if it's untapped, then you need to tap it.

But you once you tap it, you can’t put it back in. Like Pandora’s box.

Untapped is a fine adjective but not a verb. Unless you can tell me you've successfully put beer back into a keg, and if so, hat's off.

Release it

My mixtape? Of course, hold on.

Why would you lease a mixtape once, much less a second time? Who takes out two leases on a mixtape? What are you playing at, sir?

Tap is like impregnate, you can't untap what you have tapped. Before you tapped it, it was untapped, but once tapped, it stays tapped.

NYT doesn’t give tuppence what you think about this.

All words are made up. If it has utility in the sentence, it's a word. That's how sentences work.

Back when Object-Oriented Programming was just coming into vogue we were taught that you interacted with the objects by sending them messages. Design of this was important. Assume a Cow object which provides a Milk object. A possible message was Milk.UnCow_Yourself. So Untap is fine.

Untap, upkeep, draw

tap that thang

When did you last untap something?

Recent metaphysical keg party

so not Magic the Gathering then.

Oh you’re the bet you’re fun at parties guy!

You can't untap a keg, you can only tap it,... unless you have untapped skills we don't know about. 😏 That's the only use of 'untapped' that I know of.

You’re clearly not Canadian

Yooper, close enough. Google it.

untap (v): use a time machine to prevent a regretful sexual encounter

Deass the potential. (I realized while typing this that "decant" is the word you're looking for in this joke post.)

Fucking Spelling Bee. Jillion is a word to those goofs

Desnot isn't either but during allergy season, that's all I do and all I say.

Aren't you supposed to tap into that potential?

have you tried unjarr

Unpoked.

*misunderstanding the context* to unjar use: jar -x

wait until you learn the etymology of "escalate"

I unjar my blackberry preserves every morning. I refuse to hear otherwise!

try “dejar”

Unmolested is a word, but unmolest isn't. 🤷

I’m just going to keep trying punctate till it works, dangit.

It sounds like you're looking for a verb, and not an adjective? Languish?
